441 This Woman Fell Down When She Saw Me. Am I That Handsome and Charming
[Who wouldn’t say that Xi Xi Zi is absolutely beautiful?]
[This man is so handsome. Three seconds. I want all his information!]
[Shi Xi has good taste in choosing men. There has never been an ugly man by her side.]
[She still has the capital. She can point out who she wants to be her partner.]
[…]
As the two walked down the red carpet, various comments appeared on the live stream.
At the end of the red carpet, the female host was holding a microphone, ready to go up and interview the two of them.
The female host was wearing 12 cm high heels and was already a little tired from standing. When she walked out, her legs went soft and she fell straight toward Lou Ruicong, who was the closest to her.
Lou Ruicong… fell down with her.
Han Chuan, who was watching the live broadcast: “I knew something bad would happen if I let Lou Ruicong out!”
The audience in front of the live broadcast: Silence.
Shi Xi: Why did she disappear when I turned around?
When she looked down, she realized that she was on the ground.
Lou Ruicong reacted quickly and helped the female host up.
Shi Xi held up her skirt and stood in front of the female host so that she wouldn’t feel so awkward.
After the female host was helped up, she quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I couldn’t stand properly.”
It was one thing for her to fall, but she had even dragged Lou Ruicong down with her.
Lou Ruicong smiled charmingly. “It’s my fault, not yours.”
The female host felt warmth in her heart.
This person was too good!
Shi Xi looked at Lou Ruicong’s eyes and instantly understood what Lou Ruicong meant.
It was probably a narcissism of ‘This woman fell when she saw me. Am I that handsome and charming?’
It was hopeless.
However, most people did not understand Lou Ruicong that well.
The bullet screens on the live broadcast praised Lou Ruicong’s behavior. [Wow! This brother is so well-educated. He even blamed himself for her mistakes! I fell in love!]
[This is a gentleman, right? He is so handsome yet so gentle. I fell into the pit in one second!]
[The details show his character. Compared to Shi Xi who stood by and watched, this brother is simply a moral standard.]
[Hello? There’s no need to step on his shoes, right? Things happened so quickly that Shi Xi didn’t see it at all, okay? Moreover, when Lou Ruicong was supporting the female host, Shi Xi even helped the female host block the cameras so that she wouldn’t be exposed.]
[…]
At the end of the red carpet, the female host asked a few questions before inviting the two of them into the party.
And because of this move, Lou Ruicong had attracted many fans.
Looks, character, acting skills, Lou Ruicong had them all.
There was also an online drama that he was partnering with Shi Xi.
The new fans all felt that Lou Ruicong had a bright future ahead of him and that he would definitely become popular.
Meanwhile, Shi Xi’s fans felt that there was another f*cking vampire man who wanted to step on Shi Xi to get to the top.
..
After entering the gala, the two of them followed the directions and found a seat to sit down.
Lou Ruicong could not help but ask Shi Xi, “Am I too handsome today? Will I steal the limelight from others?”
Shi Xi: “…” She did not know what to say.
Lou Ruicong said narcissistically, “I can’t help it. I’m just that charming.”
“Just don’t say such things in front of the camera.” Shi Xi could only say so.
“I know. Outstanding people should be a little modest.” Lou Ruicong sat up straight and whispered, “You have to keep smiling, or else it won’t look good in the camera.”
Shi Xi’s eyes curved. “It’s better not to talk. If the camera catches us whispering, it won’t look good either.”
Lou Ruicong nodded in gratification. “Not bad. You know how to draw inferences from one example.”
Shi Xi turned her head, hoping that Lou Ruicong could see through her intention of refusing to communicate.

442 Was Not Attracted By My Beauty
Turning around, Shi Xi saw a gentle woman standing beside her.
“Hello, I’m Windy, the designer of IW.” Hua Wenyin smiled and introduced herself. “The dress you’re wearing today was designed by me.”
“Ah, hello, I’m Shi Xi.” Shi Xi stood up and shook hands with her. She praised, “The dress is very beautiful!”
The dress she was wearing was bought by Han Chuan.
It was said that she was a senior designer from IW. Shi Xi couldn’t remember the exact details. She only knew that the price was as gorgeous as the dress.
“Yes, Miss Shi is beautiful.” Hua Wenyin handed over a business card and said, “Next month, IW will hold a fashion show in Yanjing. I hope Miss Shi can come and visit.”
“Uh, if I have time, I will definitely go.” Shi Xi looked at the woman in front of her and felt very gentle and warm.
“The phone number on the business card is also my WeChat number. Remember to add me.” Hua Wenyin’s eyes were filled with the gentleness that had been accumulated over time. It was irresistible.
Shi Xi: “Okay, whether I go or not, I will tell you.”
In Shi Xi’s heart, she was naturally inclined to go and take a look even though she did not know what the IW Fashion Show was.
Hua Wenyin came over to say hello and left.
Shi Xi sat down and looked at the business card in her hand.
It was written in simple white with black text. On it was written: Windy, Hua Wenyin.
Editor-in-Chief and Chief Designer of International Wind Magazine.
She was actually the editor-in-chief of the magazine?!
Shi Xi was slightly surprised.
Such a person was trying to strike up a conversation with her?
Could it be that she wanted to be a lesbian with her?
Shi Xi knew that there were many couples in the fashion industry, but this was the first time she had received an invitation from a young lady.
What if she was too beautiful!
Lou Ruicong said from the side, “It’s very difficult to get tickets for the IW Fashion Show. If that person really invites you, I suggest you go take a look.”
Shi Xi did not expect Lou Ruicong to be familiar with this. She asked, “What is this IW Fashion Show? A fashion show?”
Lou Ruicong said, “Something like that. Building a good relationship with such a person will be beneficial for your future fashion resources.”
Shi Xi thought about it. She seemed to want to be the spokesperson for Leng Qiankun’s fashion company.
“I’ll ask Brother Han later and see what he says.” Shi Xi decided to leave this difficult problem to Han Chuan.
“Ahem, I don’t have any plans for next month. If you can’t go, you can let me go on your behalf. “Lou Ruicong had a righteous look on his face. “I have such a good figure. Even if I go on stage, I won’t be as bad as those male models.”
Shi Xi smiled. “Let’s see when the time comes.”
I definitely won’t let you go!
..
Han Chuan watched the entire live broadcast anxiously. When he realized that the two of them did not cause any trouble, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Lou Ruicong, on the other hand, was also a trending topic due to his gentlemanly behavior.
Although it was a low-level trending topic, this heart-warming map was very well-known and had a very good impression of passers-by.
Shi Xi added Hua Wenyin’s WeChat and told Han Chuan about this matter.
Han Chuan said in surprise, “Windy took the initiative to invite you to watch the fashion show? That’s great. When the time comes, I’ll free up your time.”
Shi Xi was puzzled. “You know about this Windy?”
Han Chuan introduced, “She’s an invisible rich second-generation. Her family is super rich.”
Windy was originally studying design abroad. She seemed to have been bullied by foreign brands in the early years, so she returned to China.
After returning to China, she opened IW. Everyone thought that she was just playing around, but in the end, she opened it to become a top-tier domestic brand.
“The dress you’re wearing today is her latest work, Mermaid.”
“She said that this dress was designed by her.” Shi Xi nodded and said thoughtfully, “So she wasn’t attracted by my beauty.”
Han Chuan: …Couldn’t he have a normal artist who wasn’t narcissistic?

443 Straight A’s
After the university’s exam week ended, it was time for the results to be published.
Some of the students who received the results were glad that their low scores had passed, while others regretted that they did not pass.
Poster: [Sob, sob, sob, I clearly filled it all up, but I only got 59 points.]
[61 points passed! My teacher who loves me so much!]
[Hahaha, I got 41 points! I’m still far from passing.]
[Please don’t be sad. There are still people who wrote all of their test papers but got zero points.]
[…]
Originally, it was just a small discussion thread, but it reminded many people of their school days.
That was until Nan Wan posted her report card.
@ Nan Wan ww: [I flipped to my old report card. I really miss my school days.]
There were two pictures attached to the text. One was a straight a English report card, and the other was a selfie of herself.
The fans immediately blew up their rainbow farts. [Wan Wan is so outstanding! She actually got straight A’s! Ahhhh, she’s definitely the campus belle top student, right?]
[Wan Wan is so beautiful, and she’s so good at her studies. Aww, I’m so envious!]
[…]
[Isn’t the campus belle top student Shi Xi’s persona? Why does Nan Wan want to forcefully take advantage of this persona to attract fans?]
The fans were immediately displeased.
[This is hilarious. Does Shi Xi dare to send out her report card?]
[Don’t compare Wan Wan with Shi Xi, that flower vase that only knows how to set up a marketing persona. This is bad luck.]
[What’s so bad about it? Wan Wan is better than Shi Xi, okay?]
[…]
For a moment, everyone’s gaze turned to Shi Xi again.
[Does Shi Xi dare to publish her report card?]
[Wasn’t she very high when she set the character setting? Why is she mute now?]
[She doesn’t even dare to publish the results. Is she afraid that her character setting will collapse?]
[Do you need to be suspicious when Shi Xi can get into Haicheng University? How many people can get into Haicheng University?]
[…]
Shi Xi and Nan Wan were never on good terms, and their fans hated each other even more.
However, Shi Xi’s fans didn’t want to fight over the ‘campus belle top student’ character.
Shi Xi didn’t look smart at all.
How could she be a top student?
Moreover, Shi Xi hadn’t been to school in the past six months (if not almost, then never).
The fan club had already said that they wouldn’t touch the ‘top student’ character.
Wasn’t it good to sit firmly on the title of Haicheng University’s campus belle?
Thus, the top student profile of the campus belle that was originally pinned on Shi Xi’s head was taken by Nan Wan.
The marketing accounts were even more unwilling and sent out new releases one after another.
@Dead Rabbit That Cannot Be Reported: [I didn’t expect Nan Wan to be the real top student and campus belle of the entertainment circle. Are you envious of her results?]
[…]
Zhu Lin looked at these releases and said angrily, “This Nan Wan is deliberately trying to take advantage of your popularity!”
Shi Xi leaned against the sofa and played games. “No way, right? This campus belle character is not my exclusive character. Many people in the entertainment industry have good results.”
“But you’re the only one who’s using this character recently!” Zhu Lin said angrily, “I’m very suspicious that Nan Wan was the one who sent the entire online draft before and wanted to kill you!”
“Don’t worry, she’s in Yanjing and I’m in Feng City. We won’t have any interactions in the future.” Shi Xi yawned and said, “Oh right, why do I feel like there haven’t been many jobs recently?”
Zhu Lin paused for a moment. “I’m not sure either. It was arranged by Brother Han.”
Shi Xi controlled her little character and said, “Forget it, let’s rest for a few days then.”
She had been busy for so long anyway, it was time for her to rest.
Zhu Lin carefully asked Shi Xi, “Xi Xi, have your results come out yet?”
Shi Xi looked up at her. “Why?”

444 Ning Yu Is Back
Zhu Lin: “It’s nothing. I’m just asking.”
Shi Xi looked at her phone screen. “The results haven’t been released yet. Didn’t you refresh my school’s webpage every day?”
Zhu Lin: “…”
When did she have time to refresh it every day?
With this thought in mind, Zhu Lin logged back in to take a look at the results webpage.
It hadn’t been released yet.
She was anxious.
*
Shi Xi returned to Feng City and prepared to rest for a few days.
However, as soon as she entered the main door, she noticed that the atmosphere wasn’t quite right.
Entering the living room, Shi Xi saw a cold and aloof young girl sitting on the sofa.
Her long black hair was scattered, her eyes were cold, and there seemed to be an ice fog in her eyes that couldn’t be dispelled.
Ning Yu was back!
“He… Hello, Sister.” Shi Xi came back to her senses and greeted her with an embarrassed smile. “Long time no see?”
“Yeah.” Ning Yu raised her eyes and greeted her.
Shi Xi didn’t expect Ning Yu to come back so suddenly. When she sat down, she was thinking that she hadn’t done anything wrong recently, right?
She was a lowly supporting actress who had low self-esteem online.
After a few seconds, Mother Shi brought the fruit plate over. When she saw Shi Xi, she smiled and said, “Xi Xi is back too.”
“Yeah, after the party ended, I came back since there was nothing going on there.”
Sometimes, with her mother around, Shi Xi felt a lot more relaxed.
“Are there any other jobs coming up?” Mother Shi asked again.
“Not this week. Brother Han is still making arrangements for next week’s schedule,” Shi Xi replied obediently and looked at Ning Yu. “Sister, how long will you be on vacation this time?”
Ning Yu looked up. “School will start after the Lantern Festival.”
Mother Shi said, “When that time comes, we’ll spend the Lantern Festival together. What kind of filling do you like to eat?”
“I’ll go back to Long Quan Village for the Lantern Festival,” Ning Yu said calmly.
The moment she said that, she quieted down.
Ning Yu added, “I’ll also go back to Long Quan Village for the New Year.”
Mother Shi frowned. “Ning Yu, we haven’t celebrated the New Year together yet.”
Afraid that the two of them would quarrel, Shi Xi hurriedly said, “How about this? Bring Father Ning and Mother Ning over and we’ll celebrate the New Year together?”
Remembering that Shi Xi was the child of that couple from the Ning family, Mother Shi came back to her senses and said, “No, we’re going back to the old residence for the New Year. Have you forgotten?”
Shi Xi: “…”
Then she had no other choice.
Ning Yu said indifferently, “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. How did we celebrate the New Year in the past? It’ll be the same this year.”
As she said that, Ning Yu paused again and said, “I can come back on the first day of the New Year.”
“Is that still New Year?” Mother Shi was displeased.
“Mom, Sister has been spending New Year’s at Long Quan Village. She’s already used to it,” Shi Xi interrupted. “Anyway, it’s not New Year’s yet. We’ll talk about it when we get there.”
If they were to see the King of H*ll before the New Year, they wouldn’t have to care about such things.
Mother Shi insisted, “Anyway, our family will be reunited!”
Ning Yu looked at Shi Xi and retracted her gaze.
Shi Xi thought to herself, ‘Just say what you want to say!’
‘With that gaze, I can’t understand what you’re trying to convey!’
Fortunately, the atmosphere did not turn stiff for long before Father Shi and Shi Xu returned.
“Xi Xi is back. Eh, Ning Yu is back too.” Father Shi said happily, “Aiya, my precious daughters, do you miss your father?”
Shi Xi smiled obediently and said, “Yes.”
Ning Yu had a look of disdain on her face.
Father Shi rubbed Shi Xi’s head, then looked at Ning Yu and asked, “How was school?”
Ning Yu said, “It was alright.”
Father Shi said a few more words of concern, then said to Ning Yu, “Your grandfather said that he wanted to see you. Now that you’re back, go to the old residence to see him.”
Ning Yu had a look of resistance.
She did not want to move.
Father Shi looked at the other two children and said, “Shi Xu, Xi Xi, you two accompany Ning Yu to see Grandfather.”

445 Is It That You Don’t Have Any Real Power As the CEO
With that said, Shi Xu and Shi Xi were dragged into this mess.
Shi Xu replied, “Alright, I’ll go see Grandpa tomorrow morning.”
Shi Xi had a look of resistance as she thought to herself, ‘What kind of old man prioritizes sons over daughters?’
She would rather stay at home!
But at that moment, she could only obediently nod her head. “Alright, Dad.”
She had no choice but to nod.
At night, Shi Xi took a shower and changed into her pajamas. She lay down and prepared to sleep.
There was a knock on the door.
Shi Xi opened her eyes.
There were only two soft knocks on the door. It was not Shi Xu.
So it was Ning Yu?
“Please come in.” Shi Xi struggled to sit up.
Ning Yu, who was wearing rabbit pajamas, twisted the door handle and entered Shi Xi’s room.
It had to be said that the cold and indifferent Ning Yu was wearing rabbit pajamas, there was really a kind of contrast and cuteness.
Shi Xi’s eyes curved as she asked with a smile, “Sister, why are you looking for me?”
Ning Yu said, “I’m going to visit Grandpa Shi tomorrow. I want to ask what he likes and what to send.”
The corner of Shi Xi’s mouth twitched slightly. “He probably likes antique vases or something like that.”
Anyway, she had broken one and Grandpa Shi had been thinking about it for many years.
“Antique vases?” Ning Yu nodded thoughtfully. “Thank you.”
After asking the question she wanted to ask, Ning Yu went out.
Shi Xi lay down.
Just as she closed her eyes, there was a knock on the door again.
It was Shi Xu.
Shi Xi got up helplessly and invited Shi Xu in. She asked, “It’s so late. What did Brother look for me for?”
“What did Ning Yu say to you just now?” Shi Xu asked curiously.
“She asked what Grandpa likes and I said antique vases.” Shi Xi looked at Shi Xu. “What do you want to ask?”
“I want to ask how you’ve been recently. Have you thought about going back to school to study?” Shi Xu sat down and looked like he wanted to talk for a long time.
Shi Xi counted with her fingers. “I’ve filmed a few movies in the past six months, went to a few variety shows, got a few endorsements, and earned a few million. It’s pretty good. I’ll take care of everything at school. I won’t be unable to graduate.”
Shi Xu asked, “Haven’t you thought about studying hard and helping out in the company after you graduate?”
Shi Xi hurriedly shook her head. “I have no interest in managing the company!”
Come to think of it, she wasn’t even part of the Shi family.
She didn’t want to get involved in the matter of earning family assets!
Shi Xu said, “Dad called me into the study just now and told me to let you and Ning Yu go to the company for an internship during the holidays.”
“Ning Yu can go. I have my own work plan,” Shi Xi said sincerely. “I only want to be a female celebrity, not a female CEO.”
“Even if you guys join the Shi Corporation, you should start as an employee.”
Shi Xu complained in his heart. He was the CEO! She could only be an employee!
Shi Xi changed her sentence. “I only want to be a female celebrity, not an employee.”
In comparison, a lowly employee’s choice was even more tragic.
Shi Xu: …He felt that female celebrities were a little more glamorous.
“Let’s discuss it with Dad tomorrow.” Shi Xu patted Shi Xi’s head. “I respect your decision.”
Shi Xi avoided his big hand.
Shi Xu muttered, “I just don’t know if Dad respects your decision.”
“Brother, don’t you have real power as a CEO?” Shi Xi complained, “Grandpa can let whoever he wants to be the deputy director. If Dad wants us to go in, he can let us in?”
Shi Xi: …
“Rest early.” Shi Xu got up and left.
Shi Xi thought to herself, ‘If you guys didn’t come to disturb me, I would have gone to bed long ago!’
‘If there’s anything, can’t you just say it at dinner?!’
